ODOT sued over bus crash

PORTLAND (AP) — Lawyers representing a survivor and the estates of three people killed in the tour bus crash last December on I-84 near Pendleton are suing the Oregon Department of Transportation.

The lawsuit says the department was negligent for failing to warn drivers of unsafe conditions, not requiring commercial vehicles to take another route, not adequately plowing and sanding, and failing to equip that stretch of the interstate with barriers strong enough to prevent a bus from leaving the roadway.
